It is strange how some see one thing and some see something totally different with the same images. I agree with BigRob on this one. The Steelers are better with Taylor than without. Anyone remember the second Cincinnati game? Besides, why not consider moving Ike to safety, a position of need for the Steelers?

Why pay Ike Taylor, a guy who has never played safety and who doesn't really have the build for it, as one of the highest paid safeties in the league? It makes absolutely no sense.

Dale Lolley said... No need to cut Colon at this point. Now, if they get into a situation where there's a player they really want, that might happen. But the savings is just $1.2 million.

The Steelers don't make a move until they absolutely have to. The reason for that is you never know what's going to happen. Think about it this way: Let's say they cut Colon and a week later, one of the guys you were counting on to replace him gets in a car accident. Then where are you at?

As for Lewis, don't overestimate the market for a corner who has one career interception. Do I think Lewis is going to get paid? Yes. But I think he knows that his best playing situation is here. He talked to Bryant McFadden. He knows that just because you sign a big deal today, doesn't mean they won't cut you after a year.

I think Lewis will be back.

Dale Lolley said... Colbert made those comments in an attempt to get some vets keen on the idea of taking a pay cut - Harrison, Colon. I think they go to those two next and ask them to take cuts.
Neither is going to command a big deal on the open market.

As for Lewis, he got another good example of what happens to Pittsburgh players elsewhere when William Gay was released today. There are too many good corners on the market this year for Lewis to command a huge salary on the open market.

Although, your current sig mock is undoubtedly the most accurate at this point. We will have one pick in each round.

Was in a holding pattern as I peered into my crystal ball and read my tea leaves and chicken bones. My sig now contains the picks that will lead us back to world domination, as of now. I will do more readings as the draft nears.
